Circular economy and SDGs for sustainable development

Integrate the Circular Economy into your management

At EmasConsultors, we help you implement the circular or sustainable economy in an easy and agile way, following our own methodology. This involves:

Circularity diagnosis on the level of implementation of the Circular Economy

Comprehensive assessment of the processes, operations and resource management included in the scope of the diagnosis. This involves:

  • Analysis of the business model and strategy.
  • Study of the product or service life cycle analysis in accordance with ISO 14044.
  • Assessment of economic, environmental and social impacts in accordance with CSR.
  • Identification of opportunities, priorities and areas for improvement.

It may be linked to the continuous improvement required in the ISO 14001 certificate, sustainable procurement and eco-design.

Establish the roadmap for sustainability – circularity with circular strategies and implement them, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the strategy and the ISO 14001 or EMAS environmental management certificate.

They cover the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability.

Apply eco-design solutions to increase product life, resource utilisation and reduce the use of available and economically viable raw materials linked to aspects such as water, waste, energy or new materials. With our ISO outsourcing service, we will help you establish the actions and solutions to be implemented. This may involve training tailored to your needs.

Sustainable purchasing reduces environmental impact, promotes the circular economy and fair trade, supports the local economy, and encourages responsible practices.

Communication of results through the EMAS “Environmental Statement”, the ISO 14001 Certificate “Management Review”, the GRI or CSRD Report, or the Environmental Product Declaration to provide transparent information on the entire life cycle of products or services.

Communication facilitates communication between the various stakeholders.

Certification of the integrated management system according to various ISO standards on circular economy or “BS-8001”, the “circular economy strategy” or the certificate that brings you the most value. We can help you achieve the certification you need.

FAQs Circular economy

Circular economy: what is it?

The circular economy is one in which the value of products, materials and resources is maintained in the economy for as long as possible, and in which waste generation is minimised. It helps to achieve a sustainable, decarbonised, resource-efficient and competitive economy.

The circular economy is related to ISO 14001 and EMAS environmental management. In addition, there are specific ISO standards:

  • ISO 14001 – Environmental Management Systems. It is linked to the circular economy through the identification of environmental aspects throughout its life cycle, environmental improvement objectives, sustainable purchasing and suppliers, incorporating circular economy criteria and continuous environmental improvement.
  • EMAS. This is a practical tool for integrating, managing and communicating circular economy strategies in companies and organisations.
  • ISO 14006 – Ecodesign. This standard converts the principles of circularity into design and development criteria applicable in the company. We highlight that it considers: the environmental impact in all phases of the product life cycle; product strategies implementing circularity practices.
